A Maryland Chemist Reckoned
Without His Host.

I live in the midst of the malarial districts
of Maryland, near the city of Washington,
and am exposed to all the dangerous in
fuences of the impure air and water of that
region.
Being naturally of strong constitution,
I had frequently boasted that no chills and
fever or other malarious complaint would
ever trouble me-
This was my experience and the condi-
tion in which l found myself six months
ago. l first noticed that I did not feel so
sprightly and vigorous as was my wont to
do 1 felt tired and enervated. Soon
noticed a distinct and distressing back ache
would make its appearance in the afternoon,
increasing in severity if the exercise was
more than usually violent. Then stretchy
feeling with profuse gaping made its appear
ance. Then my head, always clear as a
bell, would feel heavy and began to have
headaches.
The cold stage was marked with chatter
ing of the teeth, severe rigors passed over
me, and no amount of clothing could keep
me warm. The chill was succeeded in turn
by the fever, in which I seemed to be burn
ing up, the congestion in my head produced
violent pain in the frontal portion and a
heated sensation of the eyelids, with an in
describable aching of the lower limbs.
Nauseau and vomiting occurred with severe
retchings, and when the paroxysms passed
off was thoroughly Frustrated by weak
ness that was felt in every part of me.
drugged myself with quinine, and OBJ
tanned some relief. But my respite was of
brief duration. was now so much reduced
that 1 could hardly walk or stand upright.
My disease soon eliminated in continued
malarial fever which kept me closely con-
fined for about week. L became exceed
ingly depressed and melancholy, so much so
that [ lost interest in my work, and, indeed,
scarcely cared what happened to me.
During all this time, it must be under
stood that I did not neglect medica
treatment. All the most powerful remedies
were tried, such as liquid arsenate of potash,
valeriante of iron, mercury, bromide of
potassium, chloride of bismuth, chiniodine,
chinchonidia, quinine and several others.
AL this I did under the advice of eminent
physicians.
1t was while was in this deplorable con-
dition that the claims made for Kaskine,
the new quinine, as a specific for malaria
were first brought to my attention. I knew
nothing of its value to justify my having
any confidence in it, but as everything else
had failed I deemed it my duty to try it, so
] began its use, and its prompt and radical
effects were Of the nature of a revelation to
me. Many people may think the statement
scarcely credible, but it is fact that after
only few days use of Kaskine all the
leading symptoms in my case were decidedly
abated or ceased altogether; and in a few
weeks from the time took the first dose 1
was cured.
This was about the first of January, and
since then [ have experienced no recurrence
of the malarial symptoms in any form. A
remedy of such exceptional virtue for the
cure of malaria ought to be commended and
universally made known. have therefore
urged it upon the attention of my friends.
several of whom have used it with like good
results in every case, and it is with the
greatest pleasure and sincerity that 1 com
mend Kaslkine to sufferers from malaria
everywhere. Respectfully yours,
